CHIRP

I can't draw your attention to this problem any other way (it has been MONTHS since I reported this, but still no response), so I'm also marking it as a Bug (and I think I'm right to do so).
You guys need to make CHIRP show its version in Windows registry. The installer has to add registry subkey to make it fully compatible with winget, which would be able to show the correct (not "unknown") version of the currently installed program and users will be able to determine their program's version and possibly upgrade it to the new version.
Let's make CHIRP better together!

Quotes from this github conversation:
"What method does winget use to determine app version? I would have expected it to query the properties of the program, but that does not seem to be the case, as winget shows the version as unknown for GPU-Z (techpowerup.gpu-z), while the actual application executable properties show 2.40.0.0 for both Product Version and File Version."
Response:
"It uses the ARP (Add and Remove Programs) information, which then is tied to the Registry keys. This is nothing new so this is the Developers fault."
